Mocha Kisses 

by Sharon Blount

After fleeing from Chicago amid a scandal, handsome pediatrician Lucas Lattimore arrives in Java City, ready for a fresh start. Laser-focused on opening his private practice and determined to peacefully settle into his new home, romance is the furthest thing from Lucas’s mind - until he stumbles across a beautiful stranger who offers to buy him a steaming cup of coffee. Mocha, to be exact.

When her best friend and brother get married, successful business owner Sheryl Collier is ready for another shot at love to go with the java she adores. Problem is, the hopeless romantic’s overprotective brothers have the all the eligible men in tiny Java City too scared to date her. Just when it looks like all of Sheryl’s romantic options have been depleted, the sexy Dr. Lucas saunters into her world and changes it forever. The fire between them is instantly ignited…until the devastating reason Lucas fled Chicago threatens to put it out. Armed with the truth that can destroy her family, will Sheryl turn Lucas away, or will love have the final say?

Come back to Java City and see what’s brewing!

Love Slipped In

by W. Parks Brigham

Melvin Fowler and Senitra Winn attended the same high school. With Senitra being a couple of years older, they ran in two different cliques. That didn’t stop Melvin from making a nuisance of himself, especially with the older girls. He was one of those jocks that thought he was all of that…

 Ten years later they meet at Allanville’s Diamond Lounge and had a wonderful evening. Along the way they formed a strong friendship that resulted in them becoming best friends. Then she did a dumb and stupid thing, like develop feelings for fine azz Melvin Fowler. Uh-uhn, chestnut caramel skin tone, bearded face that she knew was soft to the touch, sexy dark whiskey-colored hooded eyes, pug nose, even that was cute, and inviting kissable lips. So, can you blame her? Anywhoo, they crossed the line and what do you think happened next? He did a disappearing act putting her deep in her feelings. Mmm-uhm, it’s cool, she thought until she found out about that little receipt!

Kindle Vella – A New Way To Meet Readers

 

 

If you haven’t heard about Amazon’s new platform - Kindle Vella this summer, I have to believe you’ve been living in a cave.

Late spring Amazon debuted this new platform for readers.  The readers pay for each chapter instead of a whole book.  The author submits chapters, daily, weekly, or monthly.  This isn’t a new concept; a few other platforms offer it.  Amazon decided to get into the game.  They give you 200 tokens for free.  You can read a few books with them before you have to buy more.

I decided to try my hand at creating a book this way.  I visited the site and was surprised to see they had nonfiction books right along with the fiction books.  This was great for me because I wanted to write a new nonfiction book and thought this platform would be perfect for it.

Amazon ask that you commit to ten episodes – chapters.  I thought that shouldn’t be too hard to do.

I outlined my chapters and submitted my first three chapters for Building Your Readership – How To Become A Social Butterfly. 

Then I got crickets for the first week. 

I decided to up my promotion game and created a few Tic Tok and IG Reels videos to see if I could get in front of some readers. 

The next week I got a few readers.

I will admit that it’s hard-to-get people over to look at the episodes because it’s a new platform and you know how we are about new platforms.  However, I’m going to continue promoting and writing my episodes until I reach my 10-episode goal.

If you haven’t stopped by Kindle Vella, I highly recommend you go check it out.  There are some interesting stories on the platform.  You might surprise yourself and find something you like.

Join me on this new writing journey.  Check out my new book - https://amzn.to/2Xg1JsK
